Ten days later.......
Five day till Stephanie's wedding and Elisha is very excited although she doesn't have a date. She hasn't talked to Brendan since last Thursday and it is Sunday now, she misses him.
Evan is happy she's coming back to Chicago on Tuesday, she plans to work at the café Wednesday and Thursday then Friday will be helping Stephanie for the wedding with Mrs. Gunner.
She couldn't wait to meet Brendan's date Annelise from what she heard from Draven, she's Malcolm's ex girlfriend from high school and was friends with Stephanie.
"Hey, I'm bored, do you wanna go over to my friends' house with me?" Tony asks.
"Sure, where does he live?" Elisha nods.
"You meant them, its a four bedroom apartment. They're my classmates from last year", he explains.
"Nice, when do we leave?"
"Next half hour good for you?"
"Yeah, I'll go get ready", Elisha went to the room.
30 mins later
Tony leads Elisha down the block, his friends own an apartment not to far from his.
"Let me warn you, they're kind of nosy and don't know personal space", Tony warns her as he knocks on the door.
"How bad can they be?"
"About to eat your words."
A young woman with purple hair opens the door with light brown eyes, she gasps when she sees Tony.
"Tony's here guys and he brought his pretty girlfriend too", she hugs Tony and pulls Elisha into her for one too.
"I'm not his girlfriend", Elisha blushes slightly.
"Sure you aren't", she giggles,"my name is Lola by the way", she winks.
"And I'm Lisa", a pink hair appears next to her, they're both identical.
"I call them the crazy twins", Tony states.
"Oh shut it tone", Lisa snaps at him then smiles at Elisha," you're pretty, you should dye your hair violet."
Elisha looks like she's about to run for the hills.
"Girls stop scaring her", a guy Tony's age comes to the door, he got sandy brown hair and same color eyes as the girls.
"You always ruin everything Aaron", Lola whines.
"Yeah, we told mom not to let us move in with him for college and his stupid roommate", Lisa adds.
They both went back inside,"one more year, that's all I have to go", Aaron sighs,"what's up man? Who's your friend?" He watches Elisha.
"This is Elisha, Elisha this is Aaron he's been my best buddy since high school", Tony introduces them to each other.
"Then why is it now I am meeting him?" Elisha demands.
"Yeah man, I introduced you to my sisters long time ago", Aaron adds.
"That's different, anyway where's Keith?"
"Out, a date I think, come on in", Aaron let's them in.
The apartment is a little bigger than Elisha's old one, it even has a balcony.
"I have one question though Aaron", Elisha says.
"They been dying their hair since age sixteen, I can't even remember their natural hair color. I blame mom for this though, she owns a hair salon and sometimes get hire to do models and celebrities' hairs", he explains.
"Wow, how did you kn-"
"That is always the first thing people ask, but I think they got silky, bouncy brown hair from mom though", he cuts her off.
"No Lola that don't match your hair at all!" Lisa shouts from a bedroom.
"I didn't ask you for your fashion advice Lisa", Lola says.
Aaron sighs,"both 21 soon to be 22 and still act like 16."
"I'll order pizza", Tony says.
"Good I'm starving", Aaron pats his belly.

Brendan is back in Chicago, they're closer to nailing Damon. Damon didn't even attend Jett's funeral on Friday.
Kathy and Ace did though, she cried because of what her husband did.
"Hey, what day Annelise say she was arriving?" Zane asks him.
"Tomorrow, 3 pm. I decided to carry her out for dinner tomorrow night", Brendan explains.
"Look at you, going out on a date. Been a while buddy", he pats his back.
"We're just going to catch up, so you're coming the wedding? You were Stephanie's friend too you know."
"You meant bed buddy", Zane laughs,"I don't think her husband to be would want to see her high school hook up."
"That's all in the past man, plus lots of single ladies will be there", Brendan winks.
"Whatever, but I already got plans for the weekend. You'll tell me how it goes anyway."
Brendan calls Elisha,"hey Lisha, how are you?"
"Oh hey stranger, what took you so long to call? Aren't I your best friend anymore?" She sniffs.
"Of course you are my best friend Lisha, nothing will change that."
"But you're going to get a girlfriend, she'll replace me", Elisha sighs.
"No she wouldn't."
"Elisha stop being dramatic", a guy in the background says.
"Shut it Tony, I'm acting here", she snaps, Brendan laughs,"see you ruin it."
"You fooled me Lisha, don't worry."
"Good, so you're picking me up from the airport on Tuesday right?" She asks.
"Of course, you'll get to meet Annelise as well."
"Maybe Wednesday, I want to spend the whole day with you."
"Anything for you Lisha."
"The pizza's getting cold Elisha, say goodbye to your boyfriend", the same guy in the background informs her.
"He's not my boyfriend, mind your business. I got to go Brendan, don't take so long to call next time", Elisha warns.
"It works both ways you know, you could have call me", Brendan points out.
"You could of been busy trying to catch you know who."
"It's slow for now, he's gone into hiding."
She hangs up.
"You know I always wonder why Elisha and you never dated. You guys are so close", Draven says.
"Maybe that's not our fate. Our fate is to be best friends."
"Have this came to mind, what if your ex is at the wedding?" Draven frowns.
"Sh*t, she was Stephanie's best friend after all", Brendan turns pale.
"What are you going to do? Your date was your ex's friend too", he adds.
"You think I don't know that, sh*t I'm not ready to face her after that break up", he sighs.
"You'll be fine, just ignore her and focus on your date for the evening and the food too."

"Divorce papers?" Kathy gasps when her husband place it on their bed.
"Yes, I want a divorce Kathy. It's not working anymore", Damon lies.
She cries, "you're lying, I been loyal and faithful to you. What did I do?"
"It's not you, its me. You got to go."
"No, not until you tell me why", she demands.
"You want to know why? Fine, I been seeing someone else, that's why I just came back last night."
Kathy gasps,"you bastard", she slaps him,"how could you?" She cries.
"I was drunk out of my mind Friday night, the guilt of what I did was eating me inside", Damon sighs.
"That still doesn't give you the right to cheat on me! I'll sign the stupid papers", Kathy snaps and gets a pen. She reads the terms and conditions then sign, "I want 50% of your money also that beach house in Los Angles, I'm leaving the next flight to there", she says and gets her suitcases.
Damon stays silent, he can't believe how stupid he was to accept that drink at Jett's club in Connecticut which he owns now. The woman in her late thirties flirted with him and when he got up yesterday morning, she was naked beside him.
"Mom, what's going on?!" Ace walks in.
"I'm leaving, this bastard cheated on me", Kathy glares at Damon,"I just can't believe you, I love you yet you did this", she cries again.
Ace glares at his father, his eyes hold anger,"you did what? First you killed my best friend now you cheated on mom!" He exclaims.
"Ace calm down", Kathy says as she packs her last suitcase.
"No", Ace punches Damon straight in the face, he stumbles back at the impact and started to punch him more, breaking his nose and bruising his jaw.
Kathy gasps,"stop Ace, that's enough", she pulls him away.
"I hope you rot in jail you cheating bastard", he spits.
They both leave the mansion, Kathy gets a flight to Los Angles and Ace went to Chicago in hope to explain things to Elisha and let him see his son with no police chasing him.

Brendan smiles when he sees a very familiar woman coming out from the check in point.
"Brendan?" Annelids gasps.
"Anne", he smiles and they hug.
"Gosh look how you grown and you got more handsome too", she compliments,"and a tattoo as well, nice."
"Thanks, so how are things with you?" He scratches behind his neck.
"Good, haven't been on a date in three months. That one was awkward, we had nothing in common", she laughs and Brendan does the same.
"Hope we hit it off", he winks.
"Of course we will, anyway want to help me with my luggage", she gestures to the two big suitcases.
"No problem, anyway you'll meet Elisha tomorrow."
"I can't wait to meet her, is she seeing anyone?" Annelise fake smiles.
"No, dating isn't on her to do list right now", Brendan shakes his head.
"I see", she frowns slightly.
"Don't worry, she's great you'll love her as I mentioned over the phone. She was the one who told me to call you and ask you out", he adds.
"She did?" Annelise's eyes go wide, then she wouldn't be any competition, but what if this is part of her plan?
"Yeah, why surprise? We're just friends and never date, can you believe that?" Brendan chuckles.
"You guys were never emotional involve with each other at all?"
"Not once", he shakes his head,"so no need to be jealous", he smirks.
"I am not jealous", Annelise assures him.
"Good because there isn't any reason to be, I'm very interested in you Anne or else I wouldn't have call", Brendan kisses her knuckles.
She giggles.
